Speeches

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.46 pm]: I rise because I want to acknowledge the WA Disability Support Awards for this year, which was held on Saturday night. I was very privileged to attend and in attendance was also the Minister for Disability Services, Hon Stephen Dawson, as well as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Disability Services, Reece Whitby, and Patrick Gorman, the federal member for Perth. It was a terrific night.

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.40 pm]: I rise to say a few things about a completely different issue and put on the record my concerns about the merger of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and LandCorp. My concerns have continued to grow over the course of this term, as I have watched a number of projects being undertaken by both those bodies. I have spoken numerous times in this place about LandCorp’s Montario Quarter development at the old Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital site.
